On Friday, Gurgaon police arrested three individuals accused of running a cyber scam that deceived a family in South Delhi out of Rs 5 lakh. The suspects, identified as Satish Kumar Yadav, Sunil Kumar, and Shivam, posed as Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers and convinced the family that their son was involved in a serious criminal case.
The investigation revealed that the money was transferred to several accounts in Bikaner and Jaipur. The fraudsters were tracked down by authorities, and after their arrest, they confessed to masterminding the scam. They admitted to using the stolen funds for personal expenses.
The police successfully recovered several mobile phones, debit cards, and froze the funds that had been transferred. The arrest highlights the growing threat of cyber fraud, where scammers impersonate law enforcement to intimidate and trick unsuspecting victims.
